Win2k isnt fat32 by default - its ntfs. If it IS fat32, then it is simple..
mkdir /mnt/windows-drive
mount -t vfat /mnt/windows-drive /dev/hdXX
Where hdXX is the partition in question.

Might want to 'modprobe vfat' first, make sure the module is loaded.
Then 'mount /dev/hdxX /mnt/foldernameyouwanttomountto'
hda1 is the first partition on the primary master.
If the drive is NTFS, then 'modprobe ntfs' and do the same command.
